About...The name, Green
Bay, inevitably conjures up pictures of football. Lambeau Field
and the Packers are inextricably entwined in this city’s persona
and daily life. Still, as the third largest city in Wisconsin,
it has a diverse economy and vibrant cultural life.

By and large, Green Bay is an industrial city with significant
meatpacking facilities and paper producing plants. In addition, the
city is one of the largest ports on Lake Michigan. As the
commercial and cultural hub of north eastern Wisconsin, the city
also has major healthcare and financial resources.

The largest employers include, healthcare giant, Humana, the
papermaker, Georgia Pacific and the casino on the Oneida Nation
reservation. In addition, the trucking giant and Fortune 500
company, Schneider National, maintains its headquarters in the
city.

Much of the city’s cultural life does revolve around the Packers as
it is the only community owned sports franchise in any of the
professional, American sports leagues. However, many dining and
entertainment venues can be found in the downtown Broadway
District. In short, the city of Green Bay owes its national renown
to football but it residents love it for a whole host of other
reasons.
